Why Dental Implants? Here's Why Monday, 30 April 2012 12:41 |  Written by Dr.Marzvaan |  |  | 
Dental implants have become a common solution for missing teeth. Where bridges had been the standard of care for a missing teeth only a few years ago - now they are no longer recommended. If you have a missing tooth your dentist should recommend an implant. The teeth on either side of a missing tooth receive additional stress when they become the anchor teeth for a bridge. These teeth have the luxury of standing alone when an implant is placed.

What is TMJMonday, 30 April 2012 12:33 | Written by Dr.Marzvaan | | |
So many people have been experiencing pain in their jaw and have been told they have TMJ. Well, this term is commonly used, but it does not mean anything. TMJ stands for temporo-mandibular joint. The joint connecting the temporal bone (temple) to your mandible(lower jaw). And guess what? Every one has it! Saying, "I have TMJ" is the same as saying, "I have a knee joint."
